Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 159 / Friday, August 20, 2021 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submissions. Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. II. Additional Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe information that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. This proposed Revision 2 to RG 1.87, entitled ‘‘Acceptability of ASME Code Section III, Division 5, ‘High Temperature Reactors,’’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1380 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21091A276). The staff is also issuing for public comment a draft regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession No. ML21091A277), and draft NUREG–2245, ‘‘Technical Review of the 2017 Edition of ASME Section III, Division 5, ‘High Temperature Reactors,’’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML21223A097) that documents the NRC staff’s review of the 2017 Edition of ASME Section III, Division 5, certain portions of the 2019 Edition, and associated Code Cases N– 861 and N–862. Code Cases N–872 and N–898 (‘‘the Alloy 617 Code Cases’’), approved by ASME in 2020, are not included in this review and are being considered for endorsement in a parallel effort. The NRC published Revision 1 of RG 1.87, ‘‘Guidance for Construction of Class 1 Components in ElevatedTemperature Reactors,’’ in June 1975 to provide licensees and applicants with agency-approved guidance for complying with paragraph 50.55a of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Codes and standards,’’ and General Design Criterion 1, ‘‘Quality Standards and Records.’’ The guide described interim licensing guidelines to aid applicants in implementing these requirements with respect to ASME Class 1 components operating at elevated temperatures. Specifically, the guide approved, with conditions, the initial versions of five Code Cases namely, Code Cases 1592– 0, 1593–0, 1594–0, 1595–0, and 1596–0. These five Code Cases are the precursors to the other iterations of ASME’s high temperature construction rules: Code VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:27 Aug 19, 2021 Jkt 253001 Cases N–47 through N–51; ASME Code, Section III, Subsection NH; and currently ASME Code, Section III, Division 5. The current version of RG 1.87 (Revision 1) does not reflect the changes and updates with respect to modern design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and overpressure provisions (among others) addressed by the aforementioned Code iterations, research, and operating experience. This revision (Revision 2) updates the guidance to endorse, with conditions, the 2017 Edition of ASME Code Section III, Division 5, as a method acceptable to the staff for the materials, mechanical/structural design, construction, testing, and quality assurance of mechanical systems and components and their supports of hightemperature reactors. This revision of the guide also addresses the acceptability of the Code Cases N–861 and N–862, which are related to Division 5 of the ASME Code, Section III. Draft NUREG–2245 provides the technical basis for NRC staff positions stated in the DG, including proposed exceptions and limitations on the use of Division 5. Additionally, this revision adds an appendix to the RG namely Appendix A, ‘‘High Temperature Reactor Quality Group Classification,’’ which provides guidance for the quality group classification of components in non-light water reactor designs. III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality DG–1380 and NUREG–2245, if finalized, would not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML18093B087); constitute forward fitting as that term is defined and described in MD 8.4; or affect the issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ The guidance would not apply to any current licensees or applicants or existing or requested approvals under 10 CFR part 52, and therefore its issuance cannot be a backfit or forward fit or affect issue finality. Further, as explained in DG–1380, applicants and licensees would not be required to comply with the positions set forth in DG–1380. Dated: August 17, 2021.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’ or ‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on August 2, 2021 the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (‘‘MSRB’’ or ‘‘Board’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the MSRB. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The MSRB filed with the Commission a proposed rule change consisting of amendments to MSRB Rule G–10, on investor and municipal advisory client education and protection, and MSRB Rule G–48, on transactions with sophisticated municipal market professionals (‘‘SMMPs’’) (collectively, the ‘‘proposed rule change’’). The proposed rule change would clarify the scope of the requirements for brokers, dealers and municipal securities dealers (collectively, ‘‘dealers’’) to provide the required notifications under Rule G–10 to those customers who would best be served by the receipt of the information and make accompanying amendments to Rule G–48 to exclude SMMPs from certain requirements under Rule G–10.3 If the Commission approves the proposed rule change, the MSRB will announce the effective date of the proposed rule change no later than 10 days following Commission approval. The effective date will be no later than 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

The text of the proposed rule change is available on the MSRB’s website at www.msrb.org/Rules-andInterpretations/SEC-Filings/2021Filings.aspx, at the MSRB’s principal office, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the MSRB included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The MSRB has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose Background In 2017, the MSRB amended Rule G– 10 with the goal of, among other things, modernizing the rule and extend the rule’s application to municipal advisors.4 Prior to that time, the rule only applied to dealers and required dealers to provide a customer with a paper copy of the MSRB’s investor brochure after a customer had made a complaint to the dealer.5 Recognizing this requirement did not afford customers the best use of the information in a timely manner, the 2017 amendments replaced the post4 See Exchange Act Release No. 79801 (January 13, 2017), 82 FR 7898 (January 23, 2017) (File No. SR–MSRB–2016–15). The 2017 amendments created similar obligations for municipal advisors to provide their municipal advisory clients with certain notifications. The text of the amendments addressed the scope of Rule G–10 obligations for municipal advisors by specifically defining ‘‘municipal advisory client’’ for purposes of Rule G–10 to include ‘‘either a municipal entity or obligated person for whom the municipal advisor engages in municipal advisory activities, as defined in rule G–42(f)(iv), or a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, or investment adviser (as defined in section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940) on behalf of whom the municipal advisor undertakes a solicitation of a municipal entity or obligated person, as defined in Rule 15Ba1–1(n), 17 CFR 240.15Ba1–1(n), under the Act.’’ 5 See Exchange Act Release No. 24764 (July 31, 1987), 52 FR 29459 (August 7, 1987) (File No. SR– MSRB–87–6).
